OW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

he chest pulse sensor consists of two components:

the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing

below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into

one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset draw-

ing. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle

on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the

front of the sensor unit.

Next, wrap the

chest pulse sen-

sor around your

chest and attach

the other end of

the chest strap to

the sensor unit.

Adjust the length

of the chest strap,

if necessary. The

chest pulse sen-

sor should be under your clothes, tight against your

skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or

breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on

the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.

Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches

and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side

(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).

Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens so-

lution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit

to a position against your chest.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each

use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the

electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate

monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off

when it is removed and the electrode areas are

ried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after

each use, it may remain activated longer than nec-

ssary, draining the battery prematurely.

• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.

o not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag

or other container that may trap moisture.

• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct

sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose

it to temperatures above 50° C (122° F) or below

-10° C (14° F).

• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit

when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.

• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never

use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest

strap may be hand washed and air dried.

CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING

The instructions on the following pages explain

how the chest pulse sensor is used with the con-

sole. If the chest pulse sensor does not function

properly, try the steps below.

• Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-

sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse

sensor does not function when positioned as de-

scribed, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.

• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens

solution to wet the two electrode areas on the

sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until

you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.

• As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-

self near the centre of the walking belt. For the

console to display heart rate readings, the user

must be within arm’s length of the console.

•

The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with

people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate

reading problems may be caused by medical

conditions such as premature ventricular contrac

tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

•

The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be

affected by magnetic interference caused by high

power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that

this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.

• The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see

page 30).

HOW TO USE THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR

THE PERFORMANT LUBE

WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE

, a high-performance lubricant. IMPOR-

TANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such

ubstances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.

HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD

This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break

down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-

rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped

with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an

earthing plug.

Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must

be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power cord.

See drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into the

socket on the treadmill.

See drawing 2. Press the pins on the power cord into the metal clips

in the adapter as shown. Close the adapter cover over the end of the

power cord and tighten the screw in the adapter. Important: Make

sure that the adapter cover is secure and the screw has been

tightened before using the power cord.

See drawing 3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is

properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with

GFCI-equipped outlets.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can result in an in-

creased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as

to whether the product is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features

designed to help you get the most from your exercise.

When the manual mode of the console is selected, the

speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with

the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will

display continuous exercise feedback. You can even

measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sen-

sor or the chest pulse sensor.

Sixteen preset workout programs are also offered. Each

program automatically controls the speed and incline

of the treadmill to give you an effective workout.

In addition, the console offers two heart rate programs

that automatically adjust the speed and incline of the

treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level

whilst you exercise.

You can even create custom workout programs and

store them in memory for future use.

The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-

ogy. Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like

having a personal trainer in your home. Using the in-

cluded audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to

your home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR

and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs

(iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available sepa-

rately). iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically

control the treadmill as a personal trainer coaches you

through every step of your workout. High-energy music

provides added motivation.

enteen speed settings.

Press the Start button or the Speed + button to

start the program.

A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-

mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and

ncline settings of the program. Hold the handrails

and begin walking.

Each program is divided into several time seg-

ments of different lengths. (The main display

shows both the time remaining in the program and

the time remaining in the current segment of the

program.) One speed setting and one incline set-

ting are programmed for each segment. (The

same speed setting and/or incline setting may be

programmed for

two or more con-

secutive seg-

ments.) The speed

setting for the first

segment is shown

in the flashing

Current Segment

column of the program display. (The incline set-

tings are not shown in the program display.) The

speed settings for the next several segments are

shown in the columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-

ment of the program, both the Current Segment

column and the column to the right will flash and a

series of tones will sound. In addition, if the speed

and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change,

the speed setting and/or incline setting will flash in

the main display to alert you. When the first seg-

ment is completed,

all speed settings will move

one column to the left

. The speed setting for the

second segment will then be shown in the flashing

Current Segment column and the treadmill will au-

tomatically adjust to the speed and incline settings

for the second segment. Note: If all of the indica-

tors in the Current Segment column are lit after the

speed settings have moved to the left,

the speed

settings may move downward

so that only the

highest indicators appear in the program display. If

some of the indicators in the Current Segment col-

umn are not lit when the speed settings move to

the left again, the speed settings will move back

up.

The program will continue in this way until the

speed setting for the last segment

is shown in the

Current Segment column and no time remains in

the program. The walking belt will then slow to a

stop.
